Said that the Chiefs aren't fooling anyone when they hand off out of the shotgun. Especially that wrap around hand off. Makes sense. Anyone know what percent of plays have been shotgun vs under center? Haven't seen that stat on any of the free websites.
(BTW, the Giants obviously scouted the shuffle pass to Kelce. Glad he wasn't injured/killed on that play. They need to put that one back on the shelf for a few games.)

The Shovel is a gimmick that comes out every 10 years then goes away when teams practice defending it. It didn't help that the Gin'ts were looking for him to run it at the goal line, might have worked early in a drive at the other end of the field but teams know it is coming in the redzone.
If I were Andy I would stop trying the gimmick WR/TE throws. Both times they have tried to run those they have been INT's.
Andy is going to have to go back to his LOS YAC O and try to get Fake Gronk in the seam a couple times a game for chunks.
